Look Into the Flex-A-Lite Black Magic Electric Fan #150. I have It and It works beautiful.

My only compliant Is that It comes with massive mounts to hold It up. I will soon swap them out with Transmission Cooler mounts when It's not so damn cold!

I just used a fan from a Pontiac 6000 I bought from a local wrecking yard. Very cheap, and does a good job. Note that I have a Fluidyne rad. The stock rad may require more airflow, so it is best to go with a Black Magic or Perma Cool (though others have had reliability problems with Perma Cool).

Either way, get a good adjustable thermostat to run it. Don't rely on a manual switch.

Yea, you can keep this small fan, but make sure you remove the condensor.
